S and O both are non-metals in the oxygen family, but their melting points are leargely different, O = 90 K and S = 718 K. This is because

A

A. S is larger in sizer than O

B

B. S exhibits more oxidation states +2, +4 and +6 whereas O exhibits only -2 and +2 oxidation states

C

C. O exists as diatomic molecule whereas S exists as polyatomic molecule `(S_(8)`)

D

D. S has more allotropes than O
